 Hey friends tonight, we are hanging out in Epcot I'm gonna be meeting up with some friends and we're gonna be walking around world showcase Seeing if there's anything new in the park and then we also have dining reservations at the garden grill And I haven't eaten there since my mom and sister were here So I figured I'd bring you guys along with me We're gonna ride some rides eat some food and just have a beautiful Epcot kind of day Anyhoo's let's go do this It looks like there's a storm will brew in so we might end up getting a little bit of rain later on But look at the skies behind spaceship Earth there. It's actually looks really cool. I Am very excited because this is going to be the first time that I'm gonna be able to go into a Disney Park without Having to make a theme park reservation while I was away Disney made the change that annual pass holders don't need to make theme park reservations after 2 p.m. There is one exception though It is Magic Kingdom on Saturday and Sunday you still need to make a theme park reservation, but I am so excited for this change I really hated the theme park reservation system and now it's gonna be great to just stroll in after 2 p.m I'm pretty positive. Nobody liked the theme park reservation system I've met so many people that came down here on vacation bought tickets to the park and They got turned away because they didn't make a prior reservation and there was no more reservations available for the day And I hope they change that permanently for everyone not just pass holders You know what I mean past pass holders they come more frequent and I understand But I feel like if you buy a ticket you should be able to just come you know And I know that on Disney side it makes things a little bit easier when it comes to planning But it doesn't no benefit for anyone else like it doesn't benefit the actual people that are paying to come here I was hoping to get a chance to watch Epcot forever tonight It returned while I was gone away, so I haven't gotten to see it yet, and I actually enjoy Epcot forever I mean I liked harmonious, but Epcot forever I love the music and I love the Walt actually talking about Epcot So it'll be cool to see that as long as the rain stays away It is 3 p.m. And I'm gonna try to join the boarding group for Guardians of the Galaxy I can join the boarding group for Magic Kingdom. Look at that for Tron. It's actually available now Let's see Epcot. Oh, look at that. Yes Joining the virtual queue bada bing bada boom. Look at that three o'clock in the afternoon I'm gonna be meeting up with a bunch of different friends today and two of them are doing awesome challenge videos So I wanted to come out and support them and be a part of it And first you have promised hope who is doing her first four-part challenge She's never done four folks in one day So I thought it'd be cool to catch her as she's making her rounds through Epcot And then also Disney Dan is here and Disney Dan is dedicating a whole entire day to the land He's gonna ride living with the land all day long land. That's kind of crazy right non-stop He's just gonna be riding living with the land. He's gonna eat from the land That's why we're gonna be at the Garden Grill and he's gonna do all the activities just in that pavilion And that is such a cool video So I'm gonna kind of show you guys that process along with all of the other fun things We're gonna do it Epcot today But honestly right now. I'm a little bugging out. Oh my lord. I was just sitting here all by myself and then This wonderful gentle bird Just creeped up on me, but if you could have seen the way he was looking at me before I don't even know what he's going for Sorry the bird really just caught me off guard, but anyways Yeah, so I will put both of their channels in the description Make sure you guys keep your eye out for their videos and it's gonna be a fun day Holy moly they added a lot of trees to everywhere even on this side over by connections cafe Look at all that foliage right there. I kind of like it though. I really can't wait till all these walls come down tear these walls down and Here she is promise hope on her four-part challenge. This is what your third stop One more we have to go to mk, but this is crazy you guys. I started at noon I didn't know it was gonna be this hard, but I also didn't know it's gonna be this fun I'm having the best time. Oh, I'm excited and now we're gonna go ride spaceship Earth Jackie super enthused is also here. We're all gonna go on spaceship Earth. I think the rain's coming Right You have my Lombado my Lombago Everything's acting up pressure change. It's in the air. We decided we're all just gonna ride in separate cars But when will I see you again never You The spaceship Earth is so much fun but now we need to make our way over to the land. We need to meet up with our other friends and promise needs to continue on with her journey. This is the restaurant we're gonna be eating at later the Garden Grill and it's a character dining you can see Chip and Dale in there and it's cool because the restaurant itself just rotates around and you're actually in the attraction you're in living with the land you'll see the boats going by and it's really good food. But for right now we're gonna head to living with the land and we're gonna see my friends and see how many rides they got in already. Even with the rainstorm outside it's still only a five minute wait though look at that five minutes can hop right on. Another really fun fact about Garden Grill you can actually eat food from living with the land. I think they have a salad where everything is harvested from the attraction itself and they used to have that at Sunshine Seasons here but they took it away. It used to be the Suck Attache. The Suck Attache was made from stuff from the land but it got so popular they would have nothing left on the land so it's only in the Garden Grill I think. I'm in a page of Mr. Harvey right now. Oh you are. Very fancy. But yeah here is Disney Dan and how many rides have you done so far? We're on ride number nine right now. Number nine. We're gonna help us get nine and ten before dinner. Nine and ten before dinner what time is dinner? Like a little like 4.30. Oh yeah we have no time. Oh okay I'm excited. No why are you doing it? Why am I doing it? Yeah because you know I'm just testing the sustainability of theme park vacations. Yeah well yeah I mean. By spending the whole day in the most sustainable pavilion of abgai. And we're front row. In the desert nature has created a very different but no less beautiful living system and while this air landscape may seem lifeless it is very much alive. The plants and animals that have learned to survive this very once appeared as desolate as the desert but over time rainwater and nutrients have gradually penetrated the hard surface of this land. Even the moves of the mighty buffalo help to create rich soil. One day you come home to the internet and farm. You lifted that? Yeah it was like there was a dying star inside. Well they're weighing it down because if they're doing that. The reason she said it was full of wet and stinky seeds. Well that's probably why. Yeah you'll learn you'll learn a lot when you ride the land nine times. Ten times. Ten times oh yeah. I think I got two and two to seven more. Oh my god there's a there's a banana flower here Nate. A banana flower. But there's a banana flower and it's the wildest thing you've ever seen in your life. Google a banana flower. Well we got bananas on our left and bananas on our right. Oh can you see is it on this one? In our lab Epcot scientists are working with the US Department of Agriculture on a number of today's research. Orchid grows in strawberry. Higher yielding and better quality plants. Don't look at the people riding. Don't look at them. Don't look at them. Living with the land was a lot of fun but now it's time for us to have dinner with the land. Dinner on the land at Garden Grill. Here is Chippendales Harvest Feast Garden Grill. It's all you care to enjoy. It's $55 for adults and 36 for children. They've got everything from a harvest inspired garden salad, grilled beef chimichurri, roasted chicken, seasonal vegetables, southern style spoon bread. Oh spoon bread. But what I love most the berry sundaes with whipped cream. The berry shortcake. The berry sundaes. Oh look at them walking behind Pluto. Like I mentioned the restaurant slowly rotates around and it's cool because we have a good start point right here next to living with the land. Look at that. You can actually see right under the house there and then down there. Look at that. That's awesome isn't it? Got a little chicken. This is so cool. I've always wanted to go in that house. Chippendale along with Pluto and Mickey will be around and it's really cool that you get to see Chippendale, Pluto and Mickey together. It's like I think you're the only character breakfast where you get to see them actually mixed up. Like they have breakfast here but it's also the only other one that I don't think I can see them in any other one so it's nice because this is Chippendale's actual dining. It's Dale. It's nice to see you. We're excited for the harvest feast. Yep I'm sure you prepared a bountiful meal. Yep you did. Oh very nice. There's three berries in the dessert. I'm excited for that. Very cool. Couldn't stretch it to four berries. You made the dessert or you just saw them make the dessert. He does the harvesting. Minnie makes the pastry. She's the pastry chef. Minnie makes the pastries. Minnie's always the pastry chef usually. Did Minnie make these pastries? That's how yep you can see yourself. You can check everything in your nose. Yep. See if it's your teeth are clean. That's the way. You look great. Oh smoothie. Too good. Too good. You're the best. Thank you. Thanks pal. We're diving into the salad here. It's living with the land salad and he said almost everything was harvested. Everything except for what? I don't know. He said the lettuce was but I don't know what else is in there. The olives? The olives weren't from the land? Maybe. Who's got, oh that sanitizer smells delicious. Yes. What is this? Bath and Body Works. Strawberry pound cake. You know we're gonna have like a berry shortcake later on here. Wow. Pre-game. Yeah pre-game it. Yeah. The food is all you care to enjoy so don't bring out everything in one big platter but if you want other things like so if you just want more spoon bread or more chicken you can actually ask for it and they'll bring it out whatever you you know desire. You can just say give me another skillet you know. I could probably put down a skillet myself. You? Yeah I could probably put a whole skillet down. One whole skillet yourself? I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it though. I'm not doing it though. That's a lot. I could. Get the meat sweat from that. Yep. Hey you know I like your whiskers. They're very springy. Look at those springy whiskers. I like, oh very fancy. Look at that. Aren't they? Look at them. I love it. I could probably just keep looking at them. Salad is no good? No? No. He wants the meat. How do you feel about that dog out there? How do you feel about that barking dog? Whoa we knew it. Yep. We knew it. We knew you'd have some territorial issues and he just won't shut up either. He just barks. And barks and barks? All day long. Yeah. Yep. Oh well thank you Pluto. You're the best. I like your color. It looks like the meats have arrived. Oh my lord. Look at that. Oh all done with that salad. I like that spoon bread. That's something new on the menu, isn't it? Yeah. It looks like that they had a shortage on the turkey and stuffing so that's why we got the spoon bread and also the barbecue chicken and I'm excited to try it. Especially the spoon bread. Look at this. But I do miss the stuffing though. The stuffing here was amazing but who knows this might be a winner. And no. I think I like the stuffing. The spoon bread is good if you like spoon bread but I just remember really loving the stuffing here so I'm kind of shocked and now I'm gonna try the chicken. The chicken is like chicken thighs though. It looks good. Here we go with the chicken. That's good chicken. I like this a lot actually. I got to grab some of these potatoes with that delicious succotash in there that did not work as planned. Oh look at you helping me out here. Let me grab some of these potatoes. Here we go. The YouTubes. Sylvester likes succotash. No Sylvester. Looney Tunes. Oh where is Disney World man? Where do you think we are? I know I'm going to get taken out of here now. Well it's a good. Yep we're going to have to leave. You just mentioned the succotash Looney Tunes character. Because he says succotash. He says something. Suffering succotash. Here comes the main gardener himself. Look at this. Hiya pal. I love the overalls. They look fantastic. You want a bite? Want some of the chicken? Spoon bread? I won't say nothing. I won't say nothing. Mickey likes mac and cheese. He's a mouse. He likes cheese. This guy. Coming together now man. It's pleasure to meet you. Yes so pleasure to meet you thank you. Yes thank you thank you. I love the character interactions here at Garden Girl. I think it's so awesome and they're very like personal like they're really spending quality time discussing things calling us out on the fact that we don't know things and kind of like it. I like it a lot. The best thing though has to be this beef. Oh he's just going to put it in there. Wow. Tim's a smooth operator. That is a smooth move right there. That's a lot of beef we got here though. Do you want me to double it and give it to the next person? Berries and cream. Berries and cream. I guess we are the next person. Yeah double it and give it to the next person. Look at this dessert. So many berries. It looks so good. I love this dessert. It's one of my favorites actually and the more compote the better. Seriously and I think you can ask for extra compote too. Look at that. Oh and the whipped cream. There it goes. This is a recurring bit. This turning your back to us. I'm liking that. You're also appreciating the view. Too much. He can't. He's done. Well that was very good. I'm not a fan of the menu change but from what I have heard it's only temporarily because they're just having a shortage but I'd like to see the turkey and the stuffing come back and the character interactions were the best in such a long time. They were absolutely amazing and now I think we're just going to hang out in here a little bit longer. Maybe do another lap on Living with the Land or go see Awesome Planet. Right next to the Garden Grill is Awesome Planet and it's a movie. It's a show. This used to be Timon and Pumbaa's little tiny show but they switched it to the Awesome Planet and it's three minutes to the next show so I think we're actually going to go watch the next show. This really does remind me of old school Epcot. Look at the carpeting on the walls here. Look at that. It feels so fancy. Do you feel fancy? I feel like I can sleep vertically against this wall right now. It feels nice. It is. It's very soft. You don't blend into it. Not like the purple wall. Can you imagine just came wearing this pattern? Yeah, that would have been funny. Any theme park merch people. There you go. Hey, Roosevelt's print design of this wall. Yep, you'll be here. Look at this theater. Isn't it so beautiful? That's going to be where the screen is but it is a big theater. It goes all the way up to the top there. I know it doesn't look move in ready just yet but trust me this property is one of a kind. It's still under construction but it has plenty of potential and its value will only increase over time. Then may I suggest the grasslands. They're one of our most popular neighborhoods and you'd be living on the land that helps feed your neighbors around the world. If everyone on the planet pitched in what we could accomplish, together we can do it and together we will. Well, that was really awesome. I love that little movie. It's really cool. They have lighting effects in there but it's basically just a little show itself and now the sun is out and the rain is gone. Our planned work and our boarding group got called so we can actually head right on over to Guardians of the Galaxy right now. I'm telling you we timed this perfectly. I am so excited to be riding Guardians of the Galaxy. This is one of my all-time favorite rides even though it's just so new and I hope that I get everybody wants to rule the world. Tears for Fears, what are you looking for? I still have yet to get September ever. Really? 25 times or something because I'm local. Today is going to be the day. September it is. Tears for Fears is also probably maybe even better. That's my favorite too but we're hoping for September. It is crazy to think that I got here at three o'clock joined a boarding group and now it is officially seven o'clock and I'm riding it right now. Wow. It has changed a lot. Hey, what's up Nova Corps? Our cosmic generator has been stolen. What? How? What do you mean we think of that? That thing's gotta be worth a fortune. I am good. Good question. Who do you think took it? Perhaps that really big man on the side of your shirt. That is a big man. I really hope we do get September. I love Green Day so it would be great to hear it here on Guardians of the Galaxy. Rockets pretty nifty. Okay, they're headed for the jump point. This place is never gonna work. Rockets. Well, okay, I'm walking onto your vehicle. We'll be right behind you. Nothing to worry about. Unless we do not stop this, I'm usually a large man and you're likely to do. Boys, no one's going to stop rock and roll from existing. I can't reach up the back. Key up next time. Welcome to the Guardians of the Galaxy. We have no room in our ship. Guardians of the Galaxy is such a great ride and we didn't get September but next time we were in there for a while though because the ride kept on stopping and I'm not too sure why. It seemed like everything on our ride was just fine and now it's time to move along and go see Epcot forever. I ran into my friend Noah. Did you ride Guardians? No, not yet but I hope you enjoy it when you do and I hope you get tears for fears. All right, see you Noah. It's so strange to not see the harmonious big like centerpiece there. Look, it's completely gone. All of it's going to be gone soon and it's going to look a lot better here and I'm excited for Epcot forever. Like I said, I've been a big fan of this show. I just wish that they would bring back the kites from what I've heard. I haven't seen it yet. There's no kites and that was one of my favorite parts of the show. It's pouring. It started to rain during the show but now it is like a downpour so we're going to get wet. I am voluntarily becoming a soggy bottom boy. This is the first time I'm actually seeing any of the Disney 100 signs here at Walt Disney World. I was at Magic Kingdom the other day and I walked right past that. I didn't even look at it. Didn't even realize it was there but here it is in Epcot first time. Look at that. It actually looks really cool. It would be cooler if we could have lined up Spaceship Earth with the one, like the actual one zero in the middle but I think that bushel is stopping us. I wonder why they did that. I think that would have looked really cool wouldn't it? And with that we are done here today. Sorry the video got cut short because of the rain but it was a fun day. Disney Dan ended up doing 15 laps on Living with the Land. I did two with him and then Garden Grill, Awesome Planet, Guardians of the Galaxy. It was overall a very fun Epcot day and yeah now it's time to call it a night and go see Gracie Girl. Epcot Forever was really good. I kind of miss Harmonious a little bit. Like I love the spectacle of it. I feel like Epcot Forever without the kites and stuff like that really doesn't have that awe factor. I love Epcot Forever because of the music but they still need to have like the you know you need to have the show with it and I'm excited to see what they have plans for the future because Epcot Forever isn't forever. It's already been gone and now it's back so it's kind of weird that they say Epcot Forever. You know what I mean? But yeah I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it and we'll see you next time. Bye. I think I hear a dog up there. I do hear a dog up there. Look at you. What you doing? Huh? What are you doing on those stairs? Let me see that smile. Let me see that smile. Yes. What are you doing? What happened? What happened for? What happened for? Huh? What happened for? Huh? Yes. I missed you. I missed you. Yes. You want to go for a walk? Huh? Oh, you kissing the camera?
